I use Digikam with my Nilon D60, works great. I just used it TODAY with my older Olympus C-750Z zoom.. I had taken some videos of the hummingbirds outside.. Digikam was able to setup and recognize the Olympus, see the files, and transfer them. It was NOT able to delete them, like I can with the Nikon.. Only problem is the videos are .WMV files, that sucks. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
